Cheyenne Frontier Days 2027 RV Rental and Camping Guide

Which rental brands suit Cheyenne Frontier Days?

One brand returned vehicles in our live search from Denver for 21 July to 2 August 2027: Cruise America. Salt Lake City, the next nearest CRG city, also returned Cruise America only. Cruise America does not publish a Cheyenne Frontier Days rule that we could find, so confirm your plans and campground in writing before you book.

• Cruise America (Class C motorhomes): four sizes, all automatic with a toilet, shower and fridge: Ultra Compact 18 ft (sleeps 2), Compact 21 ft (sleeps 4), Standard 25 ft (sleeps 5) and Large 30 ft (sleeps 7). A self-contained motorhome suits Frontier Days well, because you will be staying at an RV park or state park rather than at the venue.
• Generator: the Compact, Standard and Large have a generator, charged at US$3.50 an hour. The Ultra Compact does not, so book a site with power if you need air conditioning or outlets.
• Special events: Cruise America's FAQ says that in areas where special events take place, cancelling within 45 days of pick-up means you lose your reservation down payment. It names Burning Man and music festivals, not rodeos, so ask whether this applies to your Frontier Days hire.

Is there camping at Cheyenne Frontier Days?

No. Cheyenne Frontier Days does not sell RV or tent camping at Frontier Park. Its directions and parking page says Frontier Park public parking is US$25 a vehicle, paid by credit card only, with access via Warren Avenue or Carey Avenue, that no overnight camping is permitted and that the lots close at 1am. The page does not mention RV or oversized vehicle parking, so ring the ticket office on (307) 778-7222 before you drive a motorhome in. The festival's where to stay page warns that Cheyenne accommodation tends to fill early in the year and links to Visit Cheyenne's list of campgrounds and RV parks.

How do you get to Cheyenne Frontier Days from Denver?

Cruise America's Denver depot is at 4180 Busch Place, Frederick, about 20 to 30 minutes from Denver International Airport. From there Frontier Park (4610 Carey Avenue, Cheyenne) is about 73 miles (118 km) north on I-25, and mapping estimates for a car are about 1 hour 20 minutes, so allow longer in a motorhome.

• Depot hours: Cruise America Denver opens 8am to 5pm Monday to Saturday from 6 April to 10 October and is closed on Sundays, so pick up and return on a weekday or Saturday.
• From central Denver: about 102 miles (163 km) or 1 hour 50 minutes by car, and Denver International Airport is about 107 miles (172 km).
• From Salt Lake City: about 439 miles (707 km) or 7 hours 20 minutes by car on I-80, so allow a full day.
• Park-n-Ride: the festival's Park-n-Ride at I-25 and Happy Jack Road (exit 10D) costs US$20 a vehicle by credit card, with buses all day and a five minute ride to Frontier Park. The 2026 shuttle ran from 10:30am to 12:30am on most days.
• Downtown Express Shuttle: a free shuttle linked Frontier Park and downtown Cheyenne from noon to 8pm on most festival days in 2026, so you can leave the RV parked.

Cheyenne Frontier Days RV tips

• Book your RV park before the RV. Cheyenne Frontier Days says accommodation in Cheyenne tends to fill early in the year, and Frontier Park has no overnight camping.
• Set a reminder for Curt Gowdy. Non-residents can book 113 days ahead, which is 30 March 2027 for a 21 July arrival.
• Leave the motorhome parked. Use the Park-n-Ride (US$20 a vehicle) or the free Downtown Express Shuttle, and remember the Frontier Park lots close at 1am.
• Pack light for the gates. Bags must be under 12 by 6 by 12 inches, and coolers, outside food and drink and pets (except service dogs) are not allowed. The ticket office is cashless.
• Choose a site with power. Hookups save Cruise America's US$3.50 an hour generator charge on hot afternoons.
• Get the rental terms in writing. Ask Cruise America whether its special events cancellation term applies to your Frontier Days dates.
